This link was put up in a thread long ago. but I thought it would be good to revisit it.

LOTR and Harry Potter reviews are my favorites...

Any more books to add to the list?
Well there actually was some very good literature on that list as well.

But if I must,and I really must, I'd nominate a popular favorite: "Pillars of the earth". Not only is it sloppy writing. It's also stereotypic Barbara Cartland characterisation, not to mention the incredibly repetitive structure of the book. (yes I know a lot of you love it... I just think that damned church should have been build 500 pages earlier at least).

I think after the third time the church building had to start from scratch due to the VILE CAT-TORTURING, RAPING and KILLING villain it started to become a joke. How many times can a book start over again without being laughable?
